This year’s Fuel Good Day on September 21 raised more than $595,000 to benefit 195 local charities and non-profit organizations across Western Canada. At Prairie North Co-op, 10 cents from every litre of fuel sold at Gas Bars in Archerwill, Kelvington, Melfort, Naicam, Spalding and St. Brieux, plus the proceeds from bar-b-ques and Co-operative Coffee and Big Cool sales that day contributed to raising $10,000.

“Fuel Good Day 2021 was a huge success and that is largely thanks to the support of local businesses,” says Terry Tremblay, General Manager, Prairie North Co-op, “Prairie North Co-op has a history rooted in agriculture so in a year in which the agriculture industry has suffered, it was really humbling to see the support for our Fuel Good Day charities - the Melfort & Kelvington Ag Societies and the Archerwill & St. Brieux Rodeo Grounds. Thank you to everyone who fuelled up, and a special thanks to our team their contribution.”
